United States of Asgard series.
In this series installment, Signy Valborn is a lost Valkyrie. Accompanied by Ned Unferth, the spiritless troll hunter, and Soren Bearstar, the berserker who forsook his god, Signy quests to answer the riddle Odin posed to her. Gratton wraps readers in a believable alternate world where Valkyries sit next to the Senate, and modern technology coexists with prayer trees to Norse gods.

YA
United States of Asgard series.
In an alternate United States, beloved sun god Baldur has mysteriously disappeared. Young warrior Soren Bearskin and prophetess Astrid Glyn slip away to find him, their road-trip quest through an iconic American landscape made strange with caravans of gypsy-like Lokiskin, troll-haunted mountains, and volcano goblins. The climactic final chapters set the scene for further adventure and (somewhat tediously overheated) romance ahead.
